He joined his regiment from Sandhurst in South Africa remaining in the Colony for two years.Became Lieutenant

Killed in action while in command of the machine guns of the 4th Hussars.The following incidents of good service on his part were reported:On the 25th August he remained behind his brigade to right a gun wagon, which had been overturned. Under heavy shell fire he succeeded in bringing it and his guns away.On the 1st September , during a rearguard action , Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg, (subsequently killed in action ) , was wounded in a wood in the rear fighting line. Lieutenant North took back his wagon when the Germans were at short range , and brought Lt.Col. Hogg into Huramont village.On his own initiative on 17th October , the day after the 4th Hussars had driven the Germans out of Bas Warneton , he returned and climbed the church tower , and made a sketch of the German trenches south of Warneton ,and this sketch was forwarded , per 2nd Cavalry Division , for use of the Artillery.At Hollebeke on the 30th October , after the 5th lancers had retired, the right of the Company 129th Baluchis was attacked , and this company retired also. He was left isolated with this Maxim-gun detachment. He procured a wheelbarrel and got both of his guns and the men of his detachment away , covering the retirement for over a mile.On the 31st October at the Canal Bridge , north of Hollebeke our squad 4th Hussars and the Machine gun detachment were shelled by sixteen guns and attacked by infantry. The enemy were unable to reach the bridge largely owing to his handling of his machine guns. One of these was knocked to bits, and Lt. North was killed in his gun trench while covering a change of position of his fellow-officer and men. The bridge remained in our possession till the 4th Hussars were relieved.He was a member of the Cavalry club and left no children.
